I agree with cooleocool. There are more people on here asking for an 1/8th scale buggy or truggy and minis and all that stuff. The climates flucuate so much that there will just be a small window of oppritunity to run it. The only kind of know specific rc that i know of is made by Kyosho and i don't know if those are doing too well.

Traxxas snowmobile anybody?

IS anybody up for traxxas to make both GAS and ELECtric Snowmobiles?
If we can get enough request though REPLIES to THIS thread they might consider it!!! If they made them with the same Quailty as the Maxx trucks they would be Awesome!!!

P.S.
Sorry MODS, not sure what Category this should be under please move if nessasary.

I always thought a snow cat or groomer like the blizzard.they ask now and then what you think they should come out with,I always say "somthing with tracks" traxxas/tracks.......It kinda goes hand in hand...!!!

i made one that i bought new for $50 into an xl-5 machine, it lasted about 2 days before the track broke it was actually fast but i never got to do anything cool with it because the center of gravity was WAY up (i had to mount the battery on top of the seat) so it would tip over before i could get it anywhere.
i WOULD buy a new traxxas snowmobile. if it had a good suspension system it would be going over jumps constantly.
although, it would need to be nitro just for sound effects.

i thought about making a t-maxx into a snowmobile but the custom milling would cost a fortune, which i don't have (yet!)

Make your own based on an existing Traxxas chassis (or most of one), post it up and the good please at Traxxas just might take notice. Prototyping a new model is very expensive, they want to make sure they have a good market for a product before they go down that road. Of course, it doesn't seem like they really followed that process when they produced the funny car, but I think that was more of a contractual thing with NHRA.
